If someone were to tell you they hang with British Royalty you'd probably roll your eyes and chalk them off as delusional or a teller of tall tales, but Margaret Rhodes doesn't go about bragging.
She is, however, Queen Elizabeth's first cousin and best friend since childhood, and the Hon. Margaret Rhodes still invites the Queen to tea after church every Sunday, so they can talk about matters other than politics.
But if Margaret is asked about political issues she will be quite candid with her opinion, which may be as close as we'll get to hearing the opinion of Queen Elizabeth II herself, since she doesn't do interviews.
